Sharpless 119 - Ha RGB

Posted By jeff OMeara

Jim,

What can I say - very nice. I would love to know how you color manage during processing. Your images always have such wonderful, deep color. I seem to be doing something wrong still with my RGB data and can't get that great color, especially in the stars.

cheers,

Jeff

Hi Thomas,

I think it is great framing - nice shot - gotta love that dust. I still want to know how you get that great color. Are you using photoshop? How much saturation are you applying and at what stage of processing?

cheers,

Jeff

Wow Floyd, really nice. Your color is great - I'm still struggling to get my color to my liking. Some clear weather would also be nice - its really been terrible here in Quebec.

Hi Jason,

Really nice image. We all see the "imperfections" in our own images - I personally am rarely entirely happy with my G-11 tracking results - it does a really good job, but not perfect. Perfect would cost quite a bit more (or perhaps much better seeing would help). I make every effort to track as well as possible but I have learned to accept a certain amount of error, especially at longer focal lengths.

cheers,

Jeff
